While searching for actual bad album covers, I ran into a site that promised to reveal some awful metal album covers–but the majority of the images seemed more like band publicity photos and/or black metal fans posing for the cameras.

None of these seem to be actual covers for vinyl LPs, but it seemed only right and good to post them here because, damn, look how much time they spent putting those faces on. Vinyl or not, that much effort deserves some kind of recognition.

One could say that certain persons who write for Turntabling don’t really “get” black metal–and that would be 100% accurate.
